News flash! Things are really heating up at
over at the BoFN.
Dave and Arto got some issues.
There’s been some shoutin’ and more than a little scoffin’.
So head on over and check it out.
You might find yourself bemused or amused.
But trigger warning! It aint pretty over there,
especially if your soul’s easily abused.

Well, the Blog of Funny Names is still going strong, of course. Plus, there’s an odd new post up there now applying post-modern theory to Frank Zappa albums. I don’t know if it’s going to fly, but respect to Prof. Dufeaux for giving it the old college try (as it were). You go, grrrrrl.

In my monthly stints at The Blog of Funny Names, I think I’ve done just about everything to try to impress the big kids over there. Music. More music. Psychological attention tests. Anthropology. Purple prose. Public service spots. Poetry! Uh, movies? . . .

Yeah, I did just about everything. Everything except actually generate some traffic, that is. Views for my posts over there generally get a modest initial dribble, then invariably settle down into a long drought with sporadic drips.

But that’s about to change, my fine funny name friendz.

With today’s contribution you’re gonna finally see that I’m not just some weird, geeky type induhvidyool.

Oh, no. I’m a playa, see? I’m one bad-acid mojo mopho.

Oh, yeah. I’m gonna generate some hits. And I’m gonna get um right now. And then those views are gonna keep coming. And then more. And more. And one month later they’re still gonna be poppin’ up those little views per hour bars.

And you’re all gonna say, whoooooooaaaaaa! Who exactly is that wild, woozy wizard of words? And how on earth did he do that?

And then I’m gonna set my hat in place, straighten my lapels, adjust my sunglasses, take the toothpick out of my teeth and say, Heed me and behold, O ye collegiate colleagues of mine, for it is no mystery. I did it the only way I know how.

I am please to say I have another post up at the Blog of Funny Names. While there is, no doubt, plenty of levity at BoFN, sometimes a more somber treatment is called for. This is especially true when the subject is something as serious as . . . Funny Name Waste.
